Denveright: Your Voice. Our Future. Pedestrians, trails, parks & recreation in the spotlight

Pedestrians & Trails draft now available Review and share your feedback through December 11 Since May 2016, you have helped develop a vision for walking and trails in Denver. Now, a draft of the Denver Moves: Pedestrians & Trails plan is available for your review. The City and County of Denver will use Denver Moves: Pedestrians & Trails over time to implement projects, policies and programs to improve mobility citywide.  Denver Moves Pedestrians & Trails identifies priorities so that elements of the community-developed vision can be achieved as quickly and efficiently as possible. Completing a significant portion of the plan’s projects will require dedicated funding and staff resources. Achieving the vision identified in the plan will take many years. As Denver evolves, periodic updates to the plan may be appropriate.

Through Denveright, we have the opportunity to make sure these changes benefit everyone.  Understanding that Denver will continue to grow, the update of Blueprint Denver is focused on using that growth to create “complete” neighborhoods throughout the city using quality-of-life infrastructure like safe sidewalks, parks and open space, housing options, transit access and more. Many of these amenities will be delivered through the other three Denveright plans.  In late 2017/early 2018, based on your input on the recent "future places" workshops and online map survey, planners will release an updated draft of a map that categorizes Denver by future places: corridors, centers, residential areas and districts. The 2002 Blueprint Denver plan's "Areas of Change/Areas of Stability" concept will be replaced with a recommendation that provides more shades of gray. The new concept will acknowledge that all places are on a continuum of change in pursuit of becoming complete — not just through enabling or limiting development, but through quality-of-life infrastructure for all. Key to this concept will be proper scale and intensity for all places, and appropriate transitions between residential areas and other places. Watch for updates on this and get ready to weigh in on the next draft of the future places map in early 2018!

Long-term transit vision through Denver Moves: Transit

The Denver Moves: Transit plan will create a long-term local transit vision based on community feedback. The plan will analyze Denver’s existing transit system and recommend improvements and prioritization. Denver Moves: Transit seeks to make the city’s transit system easier to understand and use, therefore connecting people to places and services and improving community health and access to opportunity. The Denver Moves: Transit team is preparing for being back out in the community to hear more from you in early 2018. Watch for announcements in the next month!
